according to unverifiable rumours. … The leak comes from an unknown and unreliable source in the gaming industry.

But continues to write an entire article about it. I wouldn’t be shocked if the rumor was set by the person who writes the article itself. Edit: Which itself is only a few paragraphs, but filled with ads, links and images on the entire page.

Also wouldn’t that pull in major antitrust violation cases especially in the EU?

I don’t wanna jinx it, but there is no way that this deal would go through

I’ts not about integrity, it’s about clicks. It doesn’t matter if you read the headline, only if you clicked.

  • 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
  • 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
  • 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
